A lucky boy is me!

Post by gohanku » Fri Jan 27, 2006 3:36 am

Wow, a few days ago, I went Chinese New Year Shopping when I spotted a SSJ4 Goku action figure. After digging every Dragonball related stuff(Well there was only DBGT stuff), I found only three things, SSJ4 Goku, SSJ4 Vegeta and SSJ4 Gogeta. I bought the SS4 Gogeta for $3.90 Singapore dollars, now don't you think that sweet?

It might look terrible but it is my first DB/Z/GT action figure/stuff. This looks worse:http://www.zstore.com/Detail.bok?no=3179.

'least his expression isn't similar to The Joker from Batman. o_o;

The look of that figure's face is somewhat bordering into looking like bootleg toy faces.

I've been trying to force myself to take advantage of my comic store's toy-sale and buy the two DBZ toys they have. Unfortunately, one is a "ki blaster Gohan" or whatever, and the other is a Trunks with a bazooka. They were released at $17.99 each, so even the 50% off can't quite seem to convince me.

Well, you should've paid a few more dollars and gotten a REAL figure like that one on the Zstore. The one you bought looks like its made out of silly puddy.

When I was looking for christmas presents, I found a Chichi for 2€ (2 - 4$). I believe the figure was from Irwin Toys.

Now she helps Goku. ;D

Your Chi-Chi looks real so I guess you didn't get it the same place as the guy who bought that sorry excuse for Gogeta.

:shock: Dear Kami, why did you allow Jakks Pacific to get the rights to make DBZ toys...

Irwin had much better action figures.
I really, really need to get back into the habit of posting.

I agree. Since I'm immature and all, I bought SSj3 Gotenks and Super Boo so they could, like, fight to the death, but Super Boo kicked Gotenks' head off! Cheap-ass toys :x

Well....it was a fight to the death.....but yeah Irwin's DBZ figures kicked ass, I have like 40 of em, but I only have a few made by other company's, they just cannot match Irwin.
